11 Double Kitchen Island Ideas

When building our farmhouse, I knew that I wanted an open floor plan to create enough space in my kitchen for a double island. My kitchen area is the heart of our home as I love to cook and entertain. We also use it for family meetings and homework, so having room to spread out is ideal. A double island was on my dream list of must haves! Including my own, here are 11 Double Kitchen Island Ideas that I absolutely love.

Not only have I found that adding a second kitchen island increases additional workspace and serving space when you have guests over, but having the extra cabinetry has helped keep my kitchen much more organized. I also love the design aesthetics of having a double island in my kitchen as it serves as the focal point, adding dimension and depth to the space.
